Today the steps were rebuilt. We haven't had front steps in the last two years. Chalk it up to too many projects to do; too little time.
Even though these photos are cluttered with stuff from construction, I'm delighted to show them to you, and even more excited about walking down the steps instead of jumping down. I don't know about you, but my 60 year old legs don't "do jumps" any more.
Below is what the front porch and steps looked like two years ago before repairs:
Below is a photograph of the east porch entrance. Soon the front porch will have the same railing system, including the restored original spindles. The two piece railings are toast, so all of it is new material except for the spindles. Mom and I worked two summers restoring original spindles to make them suitable for reconstruction of the front porch.
A wonderful house Linda that fire the imagination!!! I love it. It make's me think immediatelly about literature. It must be a delight to live within these walls. Congratulations for the restoration!!
